Hi !

I started to work on lists around mid-septembers and I finally understood how the internals of etherpad-lite works very recently. I mean, 2 weeks ago :/

A strength of EPLITE is it's low-level versatile real-time lib. Although this API is enough to get basic editing features, it quickly becomes very hard to had new ones without duplicating tons of code in multiple places.

Before starting implementing new features like titling support, I would like to refactor this code in order to make future contributions easier and cleaner. In the same time, I can offer to write some docs to get starting hacking this part of the code.

I think this would require between 1 and 2 months of my spare time to get all functionality back but I hope to get basic features back soon.

Is that OK to start working on it ? The issue is that it would require that, during this period, contributions focus on other parts of the code like admin support for example.
